He is not leaving until January, 2021. If there is an impeachment vote he will be there.

the conservative dark state.

You know, to keep them safe.

Even McCain was that way.

Cmon we're dealing with thugs. The country is being run like an organized crime syndicate

and they treat you like a gangster. Buh bye.

...big guys are traitors.

Cowards...spineless mf-ing cowards..the whole fucking party of hypocritical boot lickers. Born without balls?...or just turned them in when he reached voting age

He may vote for impeachment because he's got nothing to loose.

Let's hope that all or most of the repugs who aren't running for reelection will vote against rump.

Those leaving probably have concerns about 45 and their party, and they can't or won't speak out against him if they stay.

I want to believe that the rats who are jumping ship have a small amount of conscience, and can't stay and pretend to support the corruption that is 45's standard practice.

Or, in rare cases, don't have anything to worry about (Romney, certain Republican governors, etc.).

The nerve of Rooney, after all these years and just as he's set to leave Congress, to suggest that he just wants to "do the right thing" so he can look at his kids without shame. What a putz. Where was he in 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, the first half of 2019? His kids should be ashamed.

Translation for Repukes, doing the right thing does NOT mean covering your sorry cowardly ass at every fucking opportunity.

He may be doing what I keep saying Members need to do - be willing to sacrifice their seat in order to do the right thing.

And he must be good with that. Otherwise he would have walked back his comments. The more Republicans in congress that aren't running for reelection the worse it is for Trump. They are free. He'll have no leverage over them.

I don't understand the pile-on against him. It seems like he's willing to give up his seat in order to do the right thing.

Gimme a 'C'
Gimme an 'O'

Hell, you get it!

Not only on Democrats if he can, but fellow Republicans. And pulls it out when he needs to. Affairs, child porn, misappropriation, wife beating, whatever.

He didn’t suddenly decide to retire today. In fact part of his CNN interview was about his record low fundraising numbers and the fact it was expected he would not be running again.

None of this means he will or will not vote to impeach,
Which he will presumably still have a voice in since I have not read he won’t be finishing his term. The fact he isn’t running for re-election means he can vote however he wants without fearing the wrath of MAGAts

That horse head must stink by now 🤷🏻?♀️

He's not retiring right now, he's just not running for reelection.

for a rat fleeing a sinking ship. His anemic effort at face saving.

Come on Romney, Collins, Sasse, impeach and retire!
